So I’d recommend stop messing around with shoe choices, if you are finding it difficult to decide it’s really easy as any the choices are clearly good enough so it doesn’t matter. I’d suggest the not gambling and just going with the Fastswitch as it’s your current front runner – what’s new information might come to light to change your mind between now and race day?

Best of luck of race day.

What I really like about them is that they are natural and provide sustainable results. Pre-workout formulas effectively enhance and maintain my endurance and strength.

This time WITH the GPS. Maybe more substantial shoes. Hell, maybe I should heel strike some too.

I would have had an unfair advantage in those!

I’m on the fence between the MT110 and the Merrell MixMasterII’s. Both shoes have served me well. The Merrell’s were giving me some troubles in a couple runs but did well in my fall trail marathon. The MT110 is soft and light but may wreck my feet over a 30 mile run. Going to be a race-day choice for me. May bring both and swap 1/2 way and hedge my bets.

I think the Fastwitch is going to be it. The shoe choice isn’t so much a stress for me as it is part of the fun of the experience. Since this isn’t an A race for me I’m pretty relaxed all around.
